The Missouri Compromise (1820), which concerned the new territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase. It drew a line in the sand - anywhere North of that line, slavery would be illegal. Neither side was entirely satisfied with this, but at least they were equally dissatisfied! This had the effect of keeping the situation in balance for thirty years. Until...

The Compromise of 1850, which concerned the new territories acquired from Mexico. By this time, it was getting harder to create new slave-states, and Congress had to make a big gesture of appeasement to the South with the Fugitive Slave Act, which turned all citizens into unpaid slave-catchers. It was highly unpopular, and 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was written as a protest against it.

What major issues did the Framers disagree upon and what if any compromises did they reach?

During the American Founding, the Founders (or, Framers) disagreed upon a variety of issues as they struggled to establish the 'grand American experiment' in a viable way. No disagreements were more important than the size and scope of the federal government and the status of slave-holding throughout the nation. Compromises on both were reached: a small but distinct federal government was established, while the question of slavery was debated and then formally 'pushed aside' as an issue to be resolved in the future.
